Miles To Go

(album: Chasing Mississippi - 2006)

Brother I've been walking farther
Than any man has ever been
I got these scars on my feet
And I've got these bruises on my chin

People they all staring in wonder
Some they even laugh at me
They don't know just what I'm seeking
And if they did we would disagree

Lift up your eyes and don't stand still
People of the world
And people of the will
Move on and on and on down this road.

Don't give up and don't give in
Someday you will be strong again
But there's still miles to go.

Sister let me tell you something
Please don't call this bravery
If you understood my reasons
You'd be here to stand by me
Up ahead: a chorus singing
In that city set upon that hill
Brother that's where I'm going
And if you want you can join me still

Lift up your eyes and don't stand still
People of the world
And people of the will
Move on and on and on down this road.

Don't give up and don't give in
Someday you will be strong again
But there's still miles to go.

If you need me
I'll wait for you, oh I'll wait for you
When I am gone, I am gone

Lift up your eyes and don't stand still
People of the world
And people of the will
Move on down this road

Don't give up and don't give in
Someday you will be strong again
But there's still miles to go
